♡⚖️ South America Pet Regulations & Compliance
Knowledge Center →🍖 Pet Food Regulation
Mercosur-aligned frameworks dominate: Brazil (MAPA IN 8/2019), Argentina (SENASA Res. 1415/2024) and Chile (SAG). All require Spanish/Portuguese labels, ingredient declarations, guaranteed analysis and establishment registration. Colombia, Peru and others follow similar SENASA/ICA-style rules. Medicated feeds need health-authority clearance.
🧸 Pet Product Standards
Brazil uses INMETRO Ordinance 563/2016 for pet toys; Argentina/Chile apply general consumer-safety law. Most pet toys lack a dedicated regional standard, creating a compliance grey area for non-electrical items.
📥 Import Requirements
Brazil: MAPA registration + SISCOMEX licence + veterinary certificate; high effective tariff (II 12.6% + IPI + PIS/COFINS + ICMS). Argentina: SENASA authorisation + health certificate (Mercosur TEC). Chile: MFN 6% + 19% VAT but mostly duty-free via CPTPP/Pacific Alliance/EU. All require Spanish/Portuguese labels and importer registration.
📤 Export Requirements
Brazil is a top global exporter (US$580.6M in 2024, record); Argentina a net exporter (Chile its #1 market); Chile is primarily an importer (Argentina its largest supplier). Regional trade flows under Mercosur/Pacific Alliance preferences.
